What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Kenny]

Super easy. Unscrew four torx bolts on the stock bumper and thats it. 2 minute install.

thanks

Looks good! I think the black grill & lights should have been what we got instead of the silver.

Perhaps they should have made the grills and lights should have been black from the get go, and Jeep knows that. Obviously they're trying to entice you into buying the more expensive Rubicon.

Blacked out the front grill and fog light bezels on my Sahara. Red tow hooks and black badges are next.

Teraflex Alpha 3rd brake light had to go in upside down. Not terrible but not the look I want. It will work for now till I make a bracket for the plate.

Ah crap, didnt even notice

Does it matter? Does the light go a different angle or anything? I don't ever want to take that bumper off

Yes, it matters. If you ever turn them on while driving, it will likely blind oncoming traffic (that’s how I understand it).

First oil change at 3103 miles yesterday afternoon! Full synthetic and triple checked they were going with 5 quarts not 6! Yeah I could have gone a lot longer on that initial factory synthetic oil, but figured there would have been additional engine break-in contaminants I wanted to get rid of. Just peace of mind really!

Added some cross bars for a roof basket for the upcoming trip to Acadia National Park, the basket will only be on for trips as it will not fit in the garage installed.

Any word on the whistling? Do yours or have the rails been improved? I’ve been on the fence about them.

I haven't done anything for a skid plate yet, I was contemplating trying to make something myself, just haven't. The bumper does come down low enough that may not even need anything, except the 2 vertical mounts the plastic air dam were bolted to kind of stick below the bumper like 1", maybe less so I'll want to do something.



The license plate bracket was a 2 piece, both from amazon.

I’ll try and get a low picture to show the perspective.

Heave not heard any whistling but I have not been on the highway with the top closed and windows up yet, first really nice weekend and am enjoying the sunshine.

I should also add that I have the rack mounted 5-1/2” farther back (front and rear to match) from what the instructions say, basket was too far back when following the specs in the instructions and not centered. Added the Yakima lock cores per the roof rack thread, fit perfect.

Looks great

Out of curiosity, did you get the ticket for no mud guards because your Jeep was altered? I like the quick-release, but I think the ones for the rear flaps are too short. After I installed, I checked a few days later & one started to loosen a bit. Loctite solved it.

Yeah the lift and 37” tires put me on the illegal list in Utah. Dang I wish I had used my locktite.
